Advancing Global Food Security by Transforming Agricultural Data
BACKGROUND
In a world where food security is a growing concern, agricultural biotechnology is an essential industry. CSpring was engaged to assist one of the world’s largest agricultural biotechnology companies in addressing its need for data accessibility and analytics. With decades of historical data, including detailed records of plant lineages collected by field staff, the organization faced a significant challenge. Varying regional regulations mandate strict tracking of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), adding another layer of complexity to their data management needs.
As the global population continues to grow at an unprecedented rate, projections indicate that it will soon outpace the global food supply. With a global workforce dedicated to agricultural research, our client is at the forefront of finding solutions to this impending crisis. However, their mission to enhance the global food supply hinges on their ability to manage vast amounts of data and complex business rules for tracking and tracing plant materials.
Gaining visibility into biological materials is not only essential for meeting compliance requirements but also for gaining a competitive edge. Access to comprehensive information across different regions is critical for leveraging performance traits and disease resistance, both vital components in addressing the global food shortage.
SUCCESS STORY
CSpring took a collaborative approach, working closely with business stakeholders to develop a robust, web-based application. It included a sophisticated rules engine with over 120 business rules for importing historical data. This new platform empowered researchers to effortlessly track, trace, and analyze materials globally. In addition to the application, CSpring built a comprehensive data staging and identity management platform, coupled with a powerful visualization tool. These innovations allowed end-users to access critical information with ease, transforming how the organization managed and utilized their data.
The results of this partnership were transformative. Within the first few months, CSpring and the client successfully launched several key features, achieving nearly 30% savings for the program. This swift implementation not only met immediate compliance and operational needs but also positioned the organization for future success in addressing global food security challenges.
Through innovative data solutions and a deep understanding of the agricultural biotechnology landscape, CSpring enabled the client to harness the power of their data, driving forward their mission to enhance the global food supply and contribute to a more secure future.
